' This invention relates in general to a device for displaying furscarfs and the like, and more particularly the invention is directedtoward a hanger from whicha scarf can be suspended for display purposes.

One object of the. invention is to provide a device of this characterembodying novel and improved features of construction whereby a furscarf may be suspended with the head upward or with the head downward Vas may be desired.

Another object is to provide a fur scarf hanger havin novel and improvedmeans to removably receive the clasp orthe like usually associated withthe head of a fur scarf, the

hanger including a part for suspending the device from a horizontalsupport, so as to support the scarf with the head uppermost.

Other objects are to provide such a device having a novel and improvedconstruction for receiving the rear paws of a fur scarf whereby thescarf may be suspended head downward; to provide a fur scarf hangerwh1ch shall be simple and inexpensive in construction and easy to use,and to obtam other advantages and results as will be brought out by thefollowing description.

Referrin to the accompanying drawing in which corresponding and likeparts are designated by the same reference characters throughout theseveral views:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a fur scarf hanger embodying myinvention showing the manner of suspending a fur scarf therefrom a withthe head uppermost.

Figure 6 is a sectional view on the line 6-6 of Figure 8.

Specifically describing the illustrated embodiment of the invention thehanger includes a body 1 which may be formed of any suitable material,for example, leather, fibre or the to the tail orbody portion.

Theenlargedpaw portion cannot te pmnaimmugh the enlarged' end 5 of theslot, so tha't when the 2'5 hanger is suspended bythe hook- 2 fromraii'or the like, thefunsc arf'jhangsfie ii w'a'rdly from" the bodylwith the-termite tion lowermost. The constricted pe itioned of th Slotsprevent;thelegperaons frombecoming accidentally-detached during handlingof the hanger with a scarf attached Obviously the fore paws of the scarfmight be arranged in the slots 3 in the same manner to support thescarfwith'the head uppermost, if desired.-

For supporting a fur scarf with the head portion uppermost, the body 1is'provided with a pair of parallel slots 6 in which are slidable a pairof loops 7, said slots being vertically exposed when the body 1 issuspended by the hook 2. These loops 7 are adapted to receive betweentheincand the body 1, one jaw piece 8 of the clasp D or the like usuallyassociated with the head 95 portion of a fur scarf tosimulate the jawsand to connect the head end of the scarf The loops 7 are adjustablerelatively to each other in the slots 6 to accommodate claspsofdifferent sizes, this adjustability of the loops being generallyillustrated by dot and dash lines in Figures 3 and 4 of the drawings.

In inserting the jaw-piece 8 of a clasp in the loops, preferably theoperating end 9 of the jaw is first slippedthrough the loop 7 'which islowermost when the hanger is suspended, after which the other loop 7 isadjusted in the slots and slipped over the clamping end 10of thejaw-piece 8a; This' results in the attachment of a fur scarf, forexample, as indicated by dot and dash line E in Figure 1 of the drawing,so thatwhen the hanger is suspended'from ahorizontal' support, the scarfhangs downwardly with the head portion uppermost.-

Where the body 1 is made of flexible material such as leather, it isnecessary to re- :enforce the lower portion of the. body to support thepaws, and for this purpose I may secure to the rear side of the body, asby rivets 12,: a strip 13 of metal or the like.

Obviously the details of construction of the device may be widelymodified and changed by those skilled in the art without departing fromthe spirit or scope of the invention; furthermore, a plurality of pairsof slots Band 3 may be provided in a single bodyso that a plurality ofscarfs can be w suspended from the same hanger. There- Y fore I do notdesire to be understood as lime iting myselfin the construction of thedevice except as required by the following claim when construed in thelight of the prior art.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is: I

A fur scarf hanger comprising a body formed with a pair of parallelslots and having suspending-means at one end, and a pair of loopsslidable in said slots to receive and hold a' clasp of a fur scarfbetween them and said body, said loops being adjustable to accommodateclasps of different sizes.
